Adonia as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Adonia

What is the meaning of the name Adonia ?

The baby name Adonia is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced ə-DOH-nee-ə (uh-DOH-nee-uh) or ah-DOH-nee-ə.

Adonia is Greek, Hebrew in Origin.

Adonia marries Hebrew and Greek threads. In Hebrew it is widely read as a feminine adaptation of Adoniyyahu/Adoniyah, a biblical name meaning “my lord is Yahweh” (from adoni, “my lord,” plus the divine name). In the Greek world, Adônia (Ἀδώνια) named the women’s festival of Adonis; this parallel has encouraged a modern association of Adonia with themes of beauty, love, and seasonal renewal, even when chosen without explicit religious meaning.

Used sparingly as a given name in English since at least the 1800s, Adonia remains uncommon yet familiar through the popularity of Addie/Nia-style nicknames. Documented variants include Adoniah, Adonya, and Adoniya; related masculine forms are Adonijah/Adoniyahu and Adonias, while Adonis shares the Greek root. The spelling Adonía sometimes appears in Romance-language contexts. The name carries a graceful, reverent sense - either “my lord is Yahweh” or, by Greek echo, “of Adonis.”
